Britpop Babies - Meet the next generation of Oasis kids
When Oasis burst onto the scene in the '90s, the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, didn't just bring swagger back to British rock; they practically bottled it, and sprayed it across an entire generation. With iconic hits, public feuds, and eyebrows permanently raised, the Manchester duo made sure no one would forget the name Gallagher. But now, a new wave of Gallaghers are stepping into the spotlight and no, we're not talking about their highly anticipated reunion tour. We're talking about the kids. When Oasis burst onto the scene in the '90s, the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, didn't just bring swagger back to British rock; they practically bottled it, and sprayed it across an entire generation. Pic: PA That's right, the next generation of Gallaghers is here, and they're armed with good genes, even sharper cheekbones, and an inescapable legacy to navigate. From modeling for luxury fashion houses to launching their own music and creative projects, the Gallagher offspring aren't just riding on coattails, they're stitching together their own version of cool, one Instagram post at a time. So, who are these heirs to the Britpop throne? Let's take a stroll down memory lane, detour through the VIP section, and meet the new Gallaghers who are ready to cause a little beautiful chaos of their own. With iconic hits, public feuds, and eyebrows permanently raised, the Manchester duo made sure no one would forget the name Giuseppe Aresu/REX/Shutterstock Pic:Born: 1999 Parents: Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit Lennon may very well be the most high-profile of Liam's kids, having grown into a brooding model and fashion darling who's strutted for brands like Saint Laurent, MSGM, and Burberry. With his sharp jawline, mop of hair, and that unmistakable Gallagher stare, he's got the look and the attitude that quickly caught the attention of multiple modeling agencies worldwide. Lennon has also dipped his toe into the music scene over the years,playing guitar with a band called Automotion, but has mostly focused on moving up the ranks in the world of fashion. Pic: Jed Cullen/for FLANNELS and Off-White Born: 2001 Parents: Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton Gene is Liam's youngest son, and perhaps the one who most visibly channels his dad's energy; style-wise and personality-wise. He's already played in a band called Villanelle, who've been teasing new music amid their 2025 string of shows and festival appearances. Given the striking Gallagher genes, it's not surprising that Gene also models, having done campaigns with the likes of Burburry. He's also had his fair share of brushes with the tabloids, having been asked to leave his progressive private school, King Alfred School In Golder's Green, as well as infamously having started a brawl in Hampstead with Ringo Starr's grandson. No DNA test needed there then. Pic:for Burberry Born: 1998 Parents: Liam Gallagher and Lisa Moorish Molly and Liam were famously estranged for almost two decades, with the pair having reconnected publicly in 2018. Since then, she's become a strong presence in his life, with Molly having come out and said that she doesn't have any 'anger' towards her father. She told The Sunday Times Magazine in 2019: 'I don't have any anger. I'm actually thankful for how I was brought up with my mum and how my life's been. 'I wouldn't be who I am now if… it's all happened the way it was meant to happen. We just got on and I'm happy to have him now.' She is currently dating Liverpool player Nathaniel Phillips, with the happy couple expecting their first child together. Unsurprising to many, given the strong face card handed down by her parents, Molly has also dipped her toe into the world of modelling. Pic: Alan Chapman/Born: 2000 Parents: Noel Gallagher and Meg Mathews The only daughter of Noel Gallagher, Anaïs is already a media darling and her father's biggest supporter. Growing up in London, Anaïs attended the prestigious private school Bedales, before eventually moving to the same school Gene was kicked out of, King Alfred School. She works as a model, photographer, presenter and social media personality and is currently dating It's a Sin and The Beautiful Game actor Callum Scott Howells. Chatting to W Mag about the band's impending reunion tour, she laughed: 'I'm pre-prepping my liver now by drinking, I don't know, electrolytes. 'It should be a very fun summer. My plan is to be at every U.K. date, and my camera will be with me every step of the way.'
